WQ.268/2018
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE
MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE
BY DEPUTY K.G. PAMPLIN OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 3rd DECEMBER 2018
Question
Will the Minister provide a breakdown of the running and maintenance costs of the Jersey Opera House for the past 5 years as well as any future budget allocations for the next 5-year period?
Answer
Opera House Annual Reports and Financial Statements for the period 2013 – 2017 inclusive are available to the public via the States Greffe. They include details of the operating costs of the Opera House.
The Opera House building is leased to the Jersey Arts Trust, although the States retains responsibility for maintenance of the property. Maintenance costs are a matter for the Minister for Infrastructure and Jersey Property Holdings.
The grant payment to be made to Opera House in 2019 is currently being considered against the overall grant programme for 2019 in order for the department to best achieve its objectives and remain with the overall MTFP cash limit set by the States. Budget allocations for 2020 and beyond will be subject to the approval of the States Assembly as part of the debate on the forthcoming Government Plan.
